Protesters staging sit-ins are politically dead now: Fazl

KARACHI: Chief of Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUIF), Maulana Fazlur Rahman has said that those staging sit-ins in Islamabad are now politically dead, ARY News reported.

Talking to media after condoling Mufti Naeem over the target-killing of his son-in-law Maulana Masood Baig, Maulana Fazlur Rahman said, “We still demonstrated patience at the killing of Maulana Masood Baig, for the world powers are trying to weaken Muslims by targeting religious figures”.

He said that the religious circles have great concerns over the brutal killing of Jamia Binoria cleric, Maulana Masood, who was also the son-in-law of Mufti Muhammad Naeem, renowned religious figure and administrator of Jamia Binoria.

Fazl lamented that the government alone is not responsible for providing relief to the people affected due to earthquakes, floods and other calamities, it is our national duty and everyone should participate in it.

He said, “Those staging sit-ins in Islamabad have taken the entire country into hostage, while they are also representing someone else’s culture not ours”.
